This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
Every now and then, on our forays through antique stores, auction houses and flea markets, we find fragments or parts of antique pieces of jewellery that don't seem wearable as they are, but which we can't pass by. We "rescue" these pieces and hand them over to our goldsmith. The goldsmith is always delighted with these little finds, as he can let his imagination run wild and give them a new lease of life as wearable pieces of jewellery. In the case of this offer, we discovered an antique set of collar buttons and large cufflinks here in Berlin that were made of such beautiful materials that we had to buy them. The pair was created around 1875 and is an elegant composition in the form of large shields. The front sides of the cufflinks are designed in the same way as the collar studs: Shimmering bands of genuine natural pearls divide the frosted surfaces into two equal parts. Rubies and sapphires are set in star-shaped settings. These four parts of the former button set, which were once used to fasten a detachable collar to a shirt and hold large turn-up cuffs together, have now become a pair of earrings that are easy and uncomplicated to wear. We have fitted the buttons with a large gold hoop and hung the large buttons under the smaller ones. This is how they are used to great effect: precious finds from the Victorian era, given a new lease of life.
